Is it possible to swim in the beach resorts of Israel in the winter?
Responds information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
Israel's beach resorts are located on the shores of the three seas, the Mediterranean, the Red and the Dead.
In the Mediterranean Sea in the winter it is unpleasant to bathe, the water temperature drops to +18 degrees, the wind appears. Those who are fond of windsurfing, like the weather, but lovers go for a swim in Eilat, the Red Sea. Even in winter, the water temperature does not drop below +21 degrees.
In the Gulf of Aqaba is not very windy, the sun heats the air to +23, so many people swim, explore corals and fish even in January and February.
All year round you can relax at the resorts of the Dead Sea. Its healing waters are always warm, their temperature is even higher than in the Red Sea. Dive in it because of increased salinity water will not work, for the same reason immediately after swimming you need to take a fresh shower. However, those who dreamed of sweating in the sun and in the sea in the winter, do not frighten such prospects.
